The Expositor's Bible: The Psalms, Vol. 1

The Expositor's Bible: The Psalms, Vol. 1 - Psalms I.-XXXVIII.

A volume which appears in "The Expositor's Bible" should obviously, first of all, be expository. I have tried to conform to that requirement, and have therefore found it necessary to leave questions of date and authorship all but untouched. They could not be adequately discussed in conjunction with Exposition. I venture to think that the deepest and most precious elements in the Psalms are very slightly affected by the answers to these questions, and that expository treatment of the bulk of the Psalter may be separated from critical, without condemning the former to incompleteness. If I have erred in thus restricting the scope of this volume, I have done so after due consideration; and am not without hope that the restriction may commend itself to some readers. A. McL. Manchester, Dec. 1892. [Pg vi][Pg vii] [Pg 1] 1 Happy the man who has not walked in the counsel of the wicked, And has not stood in the way of sinners, And in the session of scorners has not sat. 2 But in the law of Jehovah [is] his delight, And in His law he meditates day and night. 3 And he is like a tree planted by the runnels of water, Which yields its fruit in its season, And whose leafage does not fade, And all which he does he prosperously accomplishes. 4 Not so are the wicked, But like chaff which the wind drives away. 5 Therefore the wicked shall not stand in the judgment, Nor sinners in the congregation of the righteous. 6 For Jehovah knows the righteous, And the way of the wicked shall perish. ......Buy Now (To Read More)
